PIRANHA (1978)

• Directed by Joe Dante
• Starring Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies-Urich, & Kevin McCarthy
• 1978 | 94min | USA | 15

“THEY’RE HERE… AND THEY’RE HUNGRY.”

When flesh-eating piranhas are accidentally released into a summer resort’s rivers, the guests become their next meal. “Producer Roger Corman, director Joe Dante and screenwriter John Sayles serve up one of the great gorefest cult classics of the 70s.” (Second Sight Films)

PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING (1978)

• Directed by James Cameron
• Starring Tricia O’Neil, Steve Marachuk, Lance Henriksen
• 1981 | 94min | USA | 18

“They bred the ultimate killing machine… Now you’re not safe OUT of the water!”

A series of bizarre deaths appears to be linked to a mutant strain of flying piranha fish whose lair is a sunken ship off a Caribbean island resort. Starring Lance Henriksen and belatedly acknowledged by James Cameron as his directorial debut, PIRANHA II is (perhaps…) “the finest flying killer fish horror/comedy ever made” (James Cameron).
